Hello, new archrival. H-P (HPQ) puts a bow on its growing conflict with Cisco Systems (CSCO) by acquiring 3Com (COMS) on the cheap. Therese Poletti noted last month (while speculating about an H-P/Brocade (BRCD) tie-up) how former partners H-P and Cisco have gotten increasingly unfriendly, with Cisco making servers and H-P reinvesting in networking and even video-conferencing; your move, Cisco.

Smart move from HP. Brocade is junky, speculative, messy merger and overvalue with huge debts.

SEC is incompetent, untouchable, invincible, and going mortal: snake guards hen house.
Insider Trading is so obvious but SEC is busy to prepare for vacations and holidays. Good luck.
